Hi,

Steroid injections has side effects like:
- Skin-thinning, loss of color, facial flushing
- Insomnia, moodiness
- High blood sugar
Also, these effects might increase with the number of dose you receive. Your symptoms are due to the combination of steroids you received. Hence, nothing to worry about it.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
